which meant turning america to more of a european social democracy than the america that we had known. the most radical speech the president has given in our lifetime. it was a bold, courageous declaration. he's not hiding his intentions but that's why we have had such a clamorous year with so much discord and really high, high decibel debate. >> bret: what about the style of governing and the overall tone? we will talk about healthcare later. but there was an inclination by this white house, by this president to turn over the keys to let pelosi and majority leader reid to run the show and how to get it done. >> it's interesting when he came in office so many terrible things happened that were beyond his control. in his control were promises that were unrealistic. the deference he gave congress, and the enormous influence he allowed the congress to shape his agenda, his important first year. has left him 50% in the polls, starting a tough year and heading to difficult mid-term election for the parties where they face losing seats if not the majority in the congress. and i think that w
